Course Introduction:This course is an examination of many of the central issues in philosophy of mind. Is the mind an immaterial thing? Or is the mind the brain? Or does the mind stand to the brain as a computer program stands to the hardware? How can creatures like us have thoughts that are ?about? things? Can consciousness be given a scientific explanation? In examining these questions, we will consider how conceptions of the mind have been influenced by changes in the broader scientific environment.
